The rise of gene-edited embryos has raised a myriad of ethical questions. It involves altering DNA to prevent disease or even to choose specific traits using a method known as CRISPR. In 2018, Chinese ...

Philadelphia, Dec. 20, 2017 - How society regards the use of genetic modification and genome editing can have a significant influence on how these technologies are regulated by authorities and on the ...

Working on a remote island, scientists think they can use genetic engineering to block a malaria-carrying species of mosquito from spreading the disease — and do it in just a few months. But ...

Extinction is a very real and pressing crisis, threatening biodiversity around the world despite some of the best efforts by conservationists. Where conventional conservation methods have fallen short ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A discovery, several years in the making, by a University at Buffalo research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) ...

In this wide-ranging radio conversation, Mark Hahn and I discuss the spectrum of genetic modification, including the use of CRISPR technology to enhance the resistance of bird flocks, such as chickens ...

Half a century ago, the first genetically modified organism ushered in a new era of biological innovation. To mark this anniversary, here are eight milestone GMOs. Many have had, or are poised to have ...

A discovery, several years in the making, by a UB research team has proven that adult skin cells can be converted into neural crest cells (a type of stem cell) without any genetic modification, and ...

GMO stands for genetically modified organism. It refers to an organism whose genetic material has been altered in the laboratory using genetic engineering techniques such as recombinant DNA technology ...

We won’t easily forget how we worried about food in the first days of the pandemic: empty shelves, scarce products, and widespread hoarding became an alarming reality around the world. While being ...
